I don't know if this story is 100% true but it goes something like this...

Clarence White was in the studio and he wanted to play a lick but it required three hands to do it, so he asked Gene Parsons to bend the string behind the nut as he played the lick. And they started thinking, "Is there some way we could do this mechanically...?"

Another great day in Telecaster History:

Jeff Beck plays an Esquire with the Yardbirds and is pictured on the cover of the US album "Having a Rave Up with The Yardbirds." That was when the Telecaster became cool in my neighborhood.
